Truxxx Levelling Kit - Can I put 35x12.50R20's on?

Hi Dudes,

Anyone know if I use Truxxx 2.5" front levelling kit if I will be able to run my factory 20" wheels with 35x12.50 tires? I want to put some Toyo Open Country M/T's on but I really don't want to put a full blown lift kit in. I also don't want them to rub in the front end. Any assistance or recommendations would be cool.

My buddy has 35's with a leveling kit and F350 blocks on the rear, and it looks great. I don't think he has any problems with scrubbing.

I got this off their website regarding the 2.5" lift: "Once installed 35" tall tires (16"-24" rims, stock offset) can be fitted with no rubbing!"

Well, you know my story!

35" Toyo MT's with Bilstein 2.25" leveling coils, Icon adjustable trac bar, and Bilstein 5100HD shocks all around. You have to install an Icon adjustable Trac Bar to properly align the front axle after the lift. If you don't the passenger side tire will rub at left full lock. My 35's clear fine, even when off roading.

It was nice talking with you today! Let us know what you decide to do and then post some pics afterwards.

You bet! Thanks for the Help Russ you were the deciding factor. You can expect an F350 clone of your suspension upgrades up here in Canada! Thanks again.
